230 KMH in a Triumph Rocket III - 2300CC motorbike

[FabioMcHenry]

is that a squeaky horn

[FormerMPSGT]

Go to any Dealer they have it on the floor along with the Sport Version the Rocket III, I have the American. You may not be able to ride it as they may not allow the Rockets to be taken on Joy Rides (cant sale them for new if they do that). Point Being the Rocket III Touring is common and runs less than $17K for a top of the line bike, try that with a Harley

[highgear88]

Hard to tell if your really doing 230kph in that fuzzy video which works out to 142mph.

A Rocket is certainly capable of it .

If you really were then your an idiot taking a passenger at that speed especially with a full wind screen.

[JohnLMcCoy]

230 kmh = 143 mph

[runningchance]

I love my rocket, my only complaint is that too much little crap is always going out on it. The frame design and monster engine are super cool and reliable but the electronics could have been better designed and the paint job is cheap as well as the plastic parts won't stay snug.

[neoithan]

I'd to meet this motorbike, and, I really love to buy one. Unfortunately, I live in America and I'm completely unable to meet this great machine.

[MESTREVIPER]

by meet u mean, PAY?

[neoithan]

No, sir. I try to mean that I'd like to ride it or to see it live, at least.

;-)

[MESTREVIPER]

so as u live in USA, howcome u cant see it?? its most commom! i had mine in brasil

[ferroemusculo]

@MESTREVIPER Amigao acabei de comprar o novo modelo Roadster 2010 simplismente um sonho, so queria saber se ja chegou ai no Brasil, quem sabe eu nao compro uma ai tamben rs rs (pouco provavel deve custar uma fortuna rs rs) Aqui na inglaterra N one can buy, it cost just £10.000 em reias 30.000. Abr

[kens97sto171]

Go to Triumph's web site under events... they are doing demo rides all over the country... just rode one today :) Was some SERIOUS power.. Need your motorcyle licence, long sleeve shirt, helmet, gloves, long pants.. and over 25yrs old... usually its a 15 mile demo ride in a group. Very fun. Today I rode the Street Triple, and the R version, Tiger 1050, Rocket III, Sprint 1050, It was a good day.

[GAMERanTAGonist]

@neoithan The bike is fucking American made...

[xmpddaja]

@GAMERanTAGonist no it's British

[gaet9]

17000 euro

[LastTree08]

how much does it cost in euros?

[the13joker]

i specially like the horn on the handlebar. LOL!!

[MESTREVIPER]

tks! hahaha

[the13joker]

your welcome, i have a friend that has a Rocket 3 like this one and let me tell you that bike got some serious torque , that thing has humongous power its scary. But you my friend are just plain fearless going 230 kmh . Godspeed to you my friend.

[MESTREVIPER]

tks again! ehehe take care

[schellwardee]

I'll take your word for it on the speed, but for fuck sake, get a fucking wind sock for your mic!

[MESTREVIPER]

it was a sony digicam... no acessories... want to get rid of noise? see my other vids...

[stevepiptoby]

i'm sure that chrome bulb -horn thing on the handlebars does wonders for high-speed stability.

[MESTREVIPER]

sure! i honk it and drag gets spooked and goes away!

[sanjuricus]

Hmmm...Kingfisher says he's ridden a Rocket 2...that does give a certain type of credibility to the rest of his statements doesn't it. xD

[MESTREVIPER]

rocket 2??? is it a release? never heard of.

[sanjuricus]

Precisely.....did you not get the sarcasm in my statement? There never has been a Rocket 2. It was called the three because it had 3 cylinders and rocket triple sounded a bit wank. :)

[kingfiisher]

I just missed out a comma.

If you had half a brain and read the rest of my comment you would be able to allow for the typing error and work out what I was saying.

Two rockets not rocket 2.

Now go back and read it again.

[ausgang]

What is the make of the fairing on this bike?

[MESTREVIPER]

you mean, the shield?? its a brazilian brand.

[tenchinatent]

Sorry to hear that, I hope you're OK and didn't hurt youself.

[MESTREVIPER]

im sorry too. broke the right FEMUR... 3.5 month ago, still on stickwalk!! bikes are like this, the bumper is ur face~!

[kingfiisher]

Rocket III is like a big heavy articulated lorry

[huambo]

Have you seen one? there is no central pivot point, infact i`m almost certain its less than ten feet long, maybe you have been looking at trucks.

[des883]

Having a Rocket is a very private thing, you keep yourself to yourself and know what you have. A bit your cock Kingfiisher, you know what you have and you keep it to yourself (one hand or probably two fingers)you cage driving arsehole

[kingfiisher]

fuck offf cuntface.

BIG engine = small dick

[huambo]

I always assumed big engine = effortless torque

[aukanmeister]

ohh.. so thats why I never went on from 125:-D

[kingfiisher]

two wheeled car

[zmangr]

Yeah right...

[kingfiisher]

Rocket III

ain't a bike it's a car with two wheels missing.

Good only for straight lines.

Where's the fun in that?

[YetAnotherOne42]

Spoken like someone who's never ridden one. After two decades on sport bikes I switched to a Rocket and couldn't be happier. If you effete squids are having problems with it in the corners I can assure it that it's the rider rather than the machine that's at fault.

[DarkTravisT]

yeah, only good in a straight line, huh? is that because its to much grunt for you and you don't know how to ride??? Triumph are awsome! You wouldn't say that if you spent the money to actually buy one and ride for a little more than 10 minutes. Sorry i love em is all! :)

[MESTREVIPER]

another WISDOM pilot!!! :O)

[kingfiisher]

Fuck off nob head.

I have owned real Triumphs for over 36 years.

The RIII can't catch me on my '76 Bonnie.

RIII is for posers & men with small dicks.

[MESTREVIPER]

said it all, ASTRONAUT FRIEND! kakakakak

[kingfiisher]

I've ridden the Rocket two in fact.

One on a short test ride from the dealers and since then several times on my mates RIII.

On twisting roads without long straights he can't keep up with my 31 year old Triumph T140V Bonneville. Nor can he keep up with my '05 Triumph T100. I get so far in front even when there's a staight he can't catch me before the next corner. I have to stop and wait for him.

I stand by what I say the RIII is like a car with two wheels missing.

[huambo]

Arguing for the sake of it ftw!

Twat

[kingfiisher]

No you CUNT I'm arguing with cunts with little dicks who buy the BIGGEST engine they can find just to pose with.

I'm right, the RIII is a car with two wheels missing.

Bunch of faggot dickless posers.

[huambo]

The Rocket is a one off technical achievement, a way for Triumph to say "look Mr Davidson, you can have a cruiser thats actually FUN" It is a British bike, built in a british factory, personally i`m proud of it and whilst it wouldnt be my personal choice, i acknowledge it for what it is.

[huambo]

I promised i`d never feed a troll, but nevermind. Oh, and if i ever bought one, it would be for the love of riding. And i`m not convinced that it would decrease the size of my "junk"

I`d see a councillor, to help you with your anger. Is it because you were touched?

[Alisterwolf66]

You really have to wonder if arguing with a 10-year-old who thinks he's ridden a Rocket 2 is worthwhile...

[kingfiisher]

It's not British.

Name one component that is manufactures in Britain.

It's an assembly of parts which are manufactured in various countries most being from the far east.

Tosser! get your facts right.

[RhinosoRoss]

...and that's why I bought one. Unfortunately so many of the cheap bits they bolted onto the excellent engine fell off that I made the dealer swap it for two cheaper bikes!

[RhinosoRoss]

The III refers to the engine having three cylinders. There is no "Rocket two".

Even as a complete learner British country lanes at speed are not a problem. Just lean off the top bar (counter-steer) on the bend and it has the weight to go round anything. The brakes really work in spite of the weight, so brake hard and late, then use the hyperspace twisty thing and your mate will be a speck on the horizon.

[dkjohannes]

A Rocket two? Now I KNOW you are full of shit.

[kingfiisher]

There should have been a comma after the word Rocket.

What I was saying is: I've ridden two Rocket IIIs.

If you'd have read the next sentence in my comment it would have made sense.

"I've ridden the Rocket two in fact.

One on a short test ride from the dealers and since then several times on my mates RIII."

Car with two wheels missing

[Alisterwolf66]

He's claiming it was a typo now, and sending some people rather nasty private messages. Mommy should really take his computer away!

[MESTREVIPER]

couldnt agree more!! mine goes everywhere... no lack on nothing.

[MESTREVIPER]

once u get the chance to try, ull find out WHATs the fun. only straight? its so POWERFULL I overrun bikers on their color leather ricegrinders...

[RhinosoRoss]

Take a look at my clip (v=B87gRx9V-Fs) I've literally just learned to ride and got on a Rocket III and (as you can see) it's easy even for a newbie to wiggle round a car park. I bought one because I thought the engineering was worth buying into (but I was wrong).

[MESTREVIPER]

sure! rides like a baby... a rushy one..heheh

[zmangr]

nice isn't it?

[MESTREVIPER]

very nice

[MESTREVIPER]

OVER!!! :)
